It was just beautiful!!!!!!!! (there were even a few trophy wife/stay at home n look good blonds walking, they all turned n looked in my rear view...will never happen again!!)

Finally learning this car after 2 years of ownership! Has much higher and more controllable limits than all of the online "reviews" make it out to have. Was on blacktop, not poured concrete, which it seems has more traction but is uneven and trips up the traction control (who the hell programmed this???)

By the way: First set of tires that's lasted me over 12 months in my past ten years of car ownership! Michelin Pilot Super Sports = Well worth the $$. I think I may actually get 2 years out of these.

Other than that, life is boring, got turned down by the hot blond chick next door :-(... and a stupid Prius driver actually thought he had a chance at out cornering me on bicycle tires this morning.

Don't move to Portland if you're a car enthusiast, unless you like being miserable.
